(contract) Senior Game Engineer

Senior Game Engineer

This is a 3-month contract position for a Senior Game Engineer, you will be reporting to the Engineering Lead. You'll be responsible for accelerating developer productivity and platform reliability across our mobile titles by evolving shared systems, CI/CD, observability, and release workflows. You will partner with gameplay and content teams to remove friction, raise quality bars, and shorten time-to-ship.

At Trailmix, our players are the very reason we exist and our mission is to create delightful spaces where millions of people can flourish. Our hit game Love & Pies, launched in September 2021, has resonated with millions worldwide and we build free-to-play mobile games that are snackable yet filled with heart, humour, and stories that stick.

We're a focused and highly collaborative team with a big creative spirit. We believe the best games are made when the people behind them feel inspired, supported, and proud of the work they do.

Our values are what set Trailmix apart: they guide us in crafting games that are joyful, authentic, and player-first. We've created a workplace where both people and players feel seen, supported, and inspired. If you're excited by meaningful creativity, true collaboration, and making games that bring people joy, you'll feel right at home here, too.

As a member of our team, you'll work in an environment where collaboration and creative energy drive everything we do. We believe that working closely with colleagues from across departments is essential to crafting the best experiences for our players. Our office is a place where ideas come together, and we work side by side to turn them into reality.

Our London Studio Location

Our hybrid work model combines the flexibility of remote work with the creative energy of being together in person.

We work from our Kings Cross studio together three days a week — Monday, Thursday, and Friday, because we believe great games (and great teams) are built through genuine collaboration.

These days are focused, energised, and designed for impact:

• We solve problems faster
• We share ideas in the moment
• We drive decisions that move us forward

This rhythm helps us deliver our best work not just for each other, but for our players. It's how we build momentum, grow together, and stay ahead in a fast-moving industry.

Our Inclusive Culture

Trailmix was founded to make a positive impact on our players, our community, and our colleagues. We're committed to creating an inclusive culture where everyone can flourish and feel seen.

We believe it's vital that players see themselves represented in the games they play; and in Love & Pies, we celebrate the beautiful diversity of life. The stories, characters, and relationships in our games reflect the people we are and the people we love.

We're always excited to welcome more people who share our passion for designing games that truly include everyone.
